STEP 1: Connect cameras*
Test your cameras prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily
connecting the cameras and cables to your NVR using one of the following 2 methods:
a. Connect cameras directly to the recorder (recommended).
b. Connect cameras to a PoE switch or router on your network (not included).
NOTES:
• It may take up to 1 minute for cameras to start up and transmit video to your recorder.
• This guide covers connecting IP cameras to your security recorder only. For full instructions on
installing your cameras, please refer to your camera's documentation at lorex.com.
• Connecting cameras to a router, or a network switch without PoE, requires a power adapter for
each camera. Refer to your camera's documentation at
model number.
s STEP 2: Connect router*
Connect the recorder to your router using the included Ethernet cable.
NOTES:
• If you are using a PoE switch, ensure the switch is connected to the same network as your
recorder.
• To receive automatic firmware updates and enable remote viewing with mobile apps, a high
speed Internet connection is required (minimum upload speed of 5Mbps required for 4K viewing;
3.5Mbps for lower resolutions). All other system features can be used without an Internet
connection.
STEP 3: Connect mouse
Connect the included mouse to a USB port on the recorder.
STEP 4: Connect monitor*
Connect the recorder to a monitor using the included HDMI cable or a VGA cable (not
included). The HDMI port supports up to 4K resolution, and VGA supports up to 1080p.
IMPORTANT: To optimize picture quality, set the recorder's video output to match the resolution of your
Lorex Setup
monitor. See the section Changing the Recorder's Output Resolution on the rear for details.
